FLORESCENCIA
Para esta exposición en CLEA RSKY CDMX, Pablo Arellano presenta un nuevo cuerpo de obra que juega con temas de memoria, temporalidad y transformación. La vitrina de CLEA RSKY se convierte en un jardín poético evolutivo conformado por flores, cera, acero y textiles. Se presenta una serie de cuatro esculturas murales que evocan el paso de estaciones desconocidas, y cuestionan las temporalidades respectivas de sus componentes. En estas piezas, se mezcla lo natural con lo artificial, lo personal con el paisaje, lo frágil con lo resiliente, en una serie de construcciones híbridas que exploran la preservación como un acto de cuidado y de control.
For his exhibition with CLEA RSKY CDMX, Pablo Arellano presents an ongoing series of work that plays with themes of memory, temporality and transformation. CLEA RSKY’s vitrina turns into an evolving poetic garden, formed by handpicked flowers, wax, steel and textiles. Presented are a series of four wall-sculptures that evoke the passing of unknown seasons, and raise questions about the respective temporalities of their components. In these pieces, natural occurrence is mixed with the artificially fabricated, the evident with the mysterious, the personal with the landscape, and the fragile with the resilient, in a series of hybrid constructions that explore preservation as an act of care and control.
BIO
Pablo Arellano (Mexico, 1991) is an artist dedicated to sculpture, living and working in Mexico City. He holds a BFA in Studio Arts from Concordia University in Montreal.
His practice is led by a strong attention towards matter and materials, most frequently ceramics, stone and metal.
Initially, his work stems from an exploration of their material possibilities. He works intuitively, playing with abstraction in a suggestive manner, creating sculptures with multiple open-ended readings: halfway between ritual objects, found elements and allusions to natural phenomena. In his work, he is strongly interested by tactile aspects, and by the poetic gestures that can arise from different materials. He is also interested in notions of scale, and the relation that sculpture can have with the body, with the landscape and with its surrounding space. His recent explorations have been focused on the gesture of fossilization as a contemporary object, and notions of memory and transformation.
